Parx Officially Lifts EHV-1 Quarantine

The quarantine lasted almost two months at the Pennsylvania racetrack.

An almost two-month quarantine tied to equine herpesvirus at Parx Racing in Pennsylvania has been officially lifted, a track official said Jan. 13.

"We are all clear," director of racing Sal Sinatra said.

The quarantine of two barns began in early November when a horse tested positive for EHV-1. The situation kept horses from entering or leaving the grounds, which led to the cancellation of several stakes.
